Eve Egoyan
Toronto-based, internationally-acclaimed pianist Eve Egoyan is one of the most active interpreters of music by living composers. Known for collaborations that span John Oswald to Linda Catlin Smith, Maria de Alvear to Michael Finnissy, her recording of the late Ann Southam's Simple Lines of Enquiry garnered glowing appraisals from the Wire, Maclean's, and the New Yorker's Alex Ross, who listed it among 10 Exceptional Recordings of 2009. She joins this year's festival with a program that draws upon her fascinating and idiosyncratic repertoire following featured appearances at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Other Minds, Klangspuren (Austria), Transart (Italy), and Toronto's Luminato.
